Lake Park Steakhouse Out of Towner’s here…from Hampton and Poquoson, VA celebrating a friends 40th birthday and traveled down to Carolina Beach to share in the festivities with a friend who had moved to the area. We were going to be eating out the Air BNB but while one of the friends on the trip travelled around that date site seeing, they came upon the distinct smell of steak being cooked and the plans changed quickly…SO GLAD THEY DID. The group rallied around the idea of steak that evening and he made reservations for us at Lake Park Steakhouse. We arrived and it is one of the coolest steakhouses I have ever been in, the Christmas decorations were still up which added to the cozy ambiance of the exposed wood, the cozy seating, the deep reds and greens and the simple warmth of the place. Jasmine was our server and she is absolutely amazing, we had a great time with her as we are or have been in the industry. With all of us staring at the menu, she introduced herself, told us the specials of the evening and brought a round of waters. There was so much to choose from, but because we did not make our reservations early enough we did not get a chance to order the Prime Rib so that it could be prepped properly. But that did not deter us in any way shape or form, they still had plenty of to choose from. So everyone looked and found what they wanted quickly and we got to play a game, Jasmine had these cool, laminated salad or side sheets, they were numbered and we were not allowed to swap with anyone or you were going to get the wrong salad. It had every option you could think of to make your salad, from four different types of greens to every topping you could imagine. We followed directions and all won the game with our salads and I had to have appetizers, I ordered the onion strings and the prime rib soup…OMG!!!!! I was not sharing the soup, not with anyone. We then ordered our entrees and most went with the Ribeye, but I had to go with the Parmesan Crusted chicken with a potato. Everyone was happy, we did not talk to each other because we were enjoying every bite. The steaks were cooked perfectly (and they were huge), the chicken was tender and crunchy on top, we all wanted to finish our meals, but there was no way that was going to happen with the fresh bread, the appetizers, the salads and the amount of food you get. Jasmine took our leftovers and packed them for us, we stacked our plates and cleaned up our mess (we are all in the industry) and by the time she got back with the food, we were spent. Event had some time to take a pic with Jasmine, who we love and if we come back, will make sure she is working before we come with our reservation submitted early to have the Prime Rib, lol. We know what to do this time. But it was a great experience, delicious food, wonderful staff, beautiful ambiance and we love Jasmine. You will be lucky to have her and I am telling you, you better treat her right!!! Thank you for the wonderful evening with friends. We will be back.

This establishment is undoubtedly the finest steakhouse I have had the pleasure of visiting in recent memory. My wife and I were in town celebrating our wedding anniversary and, despite my last-minute request, they were gracious enough to accommodate our reservation. The culinary experience was simply exquisite. The establishment offers the unique opportunity to customize one's salad, which was a delightful touch. The steaks were prepared to perfection, and the table service was impeccable, with our server attentively checking on us throughout the meal. As you are aware, while the quality of food in fine dining establishments is generally consistent, it is the service that truly elevates or diminishes the overall experience. In this regard, our server, Angela, played a pivotal role. Upon returning home from dinner, I discovered three missed calls from Angela. I had inadvertently left my wallet at the restaurant. In a remarkable display of thoughtfulness and dedication, she offered to personally deliver it to our residence, despite the restaurant having already closed for the evening. This act of kindness, coupled with the thoughtful gesture of an anniversary card signed by the entire staff, solidified our decision to dine at this establishment a good choice. We shall certainly return in the future. If you find yourself in the vicinity and seeking an exceptional steakhouse experience, I wholeheartedly recommend making this your primary choice.

After reading the other reviews we weren’t sure about eating here but I am so glad we decided to try it! The food was amazing. We both had New York Strip and it was so tender and juicy and had lots of flavor!!! The salad was very fresh and the homemade dressings were delightful! I would recommend this restaurant 100 times over and we will eat here EVERY TIME we visit this area. You owe it to yourself to eat here!

Met some friends here for dinner. Cozy atmosphere, small menu with exceptional food and the service could not have been better. The build your own salad was delicious, the Caesar Parmesan Chicken was amazing- and a huge portion! Highly recommend. Only 13 tables so make your reservations early!

We went here for our 5 year anniversary and really enjoyed our experience. The waitress was super friendly and paced our meal out perfectly. Just about every meal comes with a salad and side. You get a wipeable paper to write down what you'd like on your salad and it's catered towards your taste buds. We got a bottle of wine and each got steak, his was a ribeye and I opted for prime Rib. Our steaks were prepared the right way and when we were done, the waitress boxed our dinners for us. I was very impressed with our level of fine dining. They even signed a card for us and that made our evening. We both enjoyed this experience and look forward to celebrating here again soon.

We had a little trouble getting a reservation, but we went anyway since we were going really early and they were able to get us a table within 45 minutes. But I would not go there without a reservation again. The staff was very efficient. The food was very good. I usually like a little more room and ambiance, but it was fun to run into some friends while we were eating and we weren't there that long for the booth to be uncomfortable.
